As a self-professed former shy girl, I can tell you that meeting men can be a downright brutal process. You are simply not comfortable going up to men and asking them out on a date. Going out to socials is fun for everyone else but you. You would much rather be home cuddling with your sweetheart, curled up with a box of popcorn watching “Joey” on an episode of “Friends”. Life just can’t get any better.
Well, for all of my shy girls, I totally get you and have included some of my ultimate top 10 favorite ways that will help you get noticed and (get the guy!!).
1. Be confident in yourself – This may sound like a contradiction but you need to be confident in who you are and self-assured that you will get what you need in life. It helps you to honor your boundaries and set firm standards of what you will and will not tolerate from men. Interestingly enough, men love confident women and generally rank it high on their list of desired traits in a woman.
2. Dress To Impress (Men!) – It’s been said that women dress to appease other women but when you’re single attracting men should be a priority. There are plenty of nice outfits for both day and night that would be perfect for the office and that late evening Happy Hour as well. You may want to check to see if there is a consultant in one of your favorite stores. Let her know the desired effect you want out of your look and she may be able to help you. You may also want to hire an image consultant.
3. Have a Great Attitude – Men are attracted to women that can make them feel good. If you nag or complain a lot, then he’ll begin to imagine this is what it will be like when the two of you are married and run away quickly. If you seem to always have a positive outlook on life, you’ll be a keeper, as he’ll imagine great times with you in the future. Having a positive attitude is worth more than its weight in gold in getting noticed by men.
4. Wear long or medium length hair – Okay, I know my feminist sistahs will get on me for this one but unless you look like Halley Berry, or any of those women who could attract a man even if they had a bag on their heads, then you’ll probably need to keep a certain length of hair. In my own personal life and that of my family and friends, I’ve found that men prefer women with long or medium length hair. Not to mention, it’s super flirty! And don’t forget a little lip gloss to add to your look!
5. Use your femininity – Men fall head over heels for women that know how to use their feminine wiles. We may be an equal opportunity society but some things never change.
6. Wear unique accessories – You want to stand out in the crowd, right? Well this is a fun way to do it. Wear something unique like a fun hat or an odd piece of jewelry as they could be great conversation starters. I love hats and jewelry. As a matter of fact, when I’m out on a scorching hot day, I make sure I put on a pretty hat and I always catch a guy looking my way.
7. Wear sexy heels – Heels make you have good posture because it forces you to have your back straight and shoulders back. Not to mention it makes your legs and your figure look incredible. Maybe that’s why we girls bust our butts to buy those stilettos!!
8. Have charm and grace – These are traits that really stand out on a woman because they’re not taught in schools or homes anymore. There are some men that love to have a beautiful woman on their arms who is also well versed on proper etiquette. He’ll always think of you when he is invited to upscale events.
9. Have interesting hobbies – These should be hobbies that you enjoy doing in your spare time. It could a sporting activity such as tennis or golf. You could also add volunteerism as a favorite hobby. Having a hobby will give you great talking points when you are out on a date or at an important event and you need to make “small talk”.
And last but not least….
10. Be Yourself – Out of all the other ways to get noticed, this is the crucial one. Nothing else will work unless you’re comfortable in your own skin. The other ways mentioned above are improvements to who you are and meant to help you to attract men but first and foremost, you need to be yourself. If you can’t be yourself, he’ll notice it immediately. If you like to laugh, share a little of your humor. If you like to be adventurous, share some of your activities. If you like to be a tomboy, share some of that too!
Being shy is no reason to have to be alone. As you can see, there are many ways for a shy girl to get noticed by men. Just believe in yourself, consider adding a few enhancements to your look and watch the magic happen. Who knows, you may be looking at attracting one guy into your life and get the attention of several others! Have fun!
I've run into some real crappy people on dating sites. What they say in their profile isn't true at all. I was wondering if there was a website where people blog the truth about some of these fakes and I found globogirls.com it's actually more of a social network thing for people who would like to meet travel mates from different countries. The good thing about it is that it's totally secure because they have the feature of video chatting with these girls so you'll not share your personal contacts unless you're 100% sure , One thing that I really liked was the tips on how to avoid scam and fraud.
